Harlan Coben’s Fool Me Once has rocketed to the top of the UK streaming charts, unseating Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon on its way up.

The most-watched episode was sitting pretty with more than 6M viewers on the seven-day chart and the first three each topped the 5M mark, according to Barb data supplied by overnights.tv.

Dropping on New Year’s Day, Quay Street Productions’ Fool Me Once is the latest in a long line of Coben’s Netflix shows via his multi-year deal. It stars the likes of Michelle Keegan, Adeel Akhtar and Richard Armitage, following a woman trying to come to terms with the brutal murder of her husband.

Coben’s previous shows such as Safe and Stay Close have performed well for the streamer, handing the limelight to actors who have traditionally worked for British broadcasters such as Coronation Street and Our Girl star Keegan.

Below Fool Me Once in the seven-day streaming charts was Rebel Moon, which was watched by another 4.3M people over the past week, adding to the 16.5M who tuned in during its first week on the platform.

Third was hard-hitting ITV drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office on the ITVX player, which tells of what is broadly considered the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history when hundreds of postmasters were falsely convicted for stealing amidst accounting errors. The final ep has amassed 2M views on ITVX, adding to around 3.5M on ITV main channel.

Editor’s note: The data initially supplied to Deadline by overnights.tv incorrectly doubled the rating of each episode of Fool Me Once. We have updated to the correct rating.
